Hello – I haven’t been able to figure out how to do this in Photoshop yet. I think the effect is called "blinds" in PSP, but I’m not sure. Here’s an example of what it looks like (the effect on the red background): <http://ptw.greenless.com/header.jpg>

If anybody knows how to do this in Photoshop CS please let me know. thanks.

Easy way to do it is to download a little plugin here:

There is no ‘installer’ included. Just copy the included .8bs file to your plugins folder. This is a Selection plug-in, not a filter. It shows up in Photoshop as "Select/Other/Grid".
You can configure it to produce grids, boxes, TV scanlines, blinds…whatever you want. Great little timesaving do-dad!
Hope that helps,
